Families of the two pilots killed making the movie American Made have accused Tom Cruise and director Doug Liman of being partially responsible for their deaths. Alan Purwin and Carlos Berl lost their lives when their small plane encountered bad weather and crashed in the Andes mountains in Colombia in September 2015. Families of both Purwin and Berl have filed wrongful death lawsuits against the production companies for American Made, which was called Mena at the time of the incident. Neither Cruise or Liman were named as defendants in the lawsuits, but in new court documents obtained by The Blast, the families have suggested they both men were negligent by letting Purwin and Berl take off. “DL (Liman) and TC (Cruise) (are) adding entire scenes and aerial shots on the fly,” the lawsuit states.
